Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
The more I look at this amendment, the more I see problems with it, in particular with subsection (4). It clearly states that:(4) The standards referred to in subsection (3) shall be reviewed by the Governor in Council at least once in every three years to ensure that the levels of energy consumption provided for by the standards are at least equivalent to the levels set by the most stringent standards applicable in other jurisdictions in North America.
Mr. Chairman, given that we know that the production and distribution of energy are ensured by the provinces, how could we truly enforce such as proposal?
Ms. Buckley, given Canada's energy supply structure, do you believe that it would be possible to ensure consumption levels and that the Governor in Council could take measures in this regard? Do you really believe that this is realistic, given Canada's energy supply structure?
